N.Peal Cashmere Dresses: Jumper, Wrap and Cable Knit Dresses
N.Peal Cashmere Dresses: Jumper, Wrap and Cable Knit Dresses
A cashmere dress is a jumper you can wear alone: warm, soft and finished with a boot. The three N.Peal shapes worth knowing are the roll neck jumper dress, the wrap dress and the long cable knit, all in the N.Peal edit, and you can shop more in midi dresses and maxi dresses at Luxury Shoes . For other labels, see our wider edit of sweater dresses.
The roll neck jumper dress
The Roll Neck Cashmere Jumper Dress in Grey Moss is a straight midi with a roll neck, in organic cashmere. Wear it with knee boots and a long coat.
The round neck jumper dress
The Round Neck Cashmere Jumper Dress in Cocoa Brown is the easier version for the office, worn with a belt and a loafer.
The wrap dress
The Willa Wrap Cashmere Dress in Oatmeal Brown ties at the waist for shape. A good choice for hourglass and petite frames.
The long cable dress
The Longline Cable Cashmere Dress in Oat Grey is a 2-ply cable knit with a tie belt, made for long weekends in the country.
The silk and cashmere dress
The Luxe Circle Dress in Black is knitted from silk and cashmere with a full circle skirt that moves. It works for evening.
How to wear a cashmere dress
- Knee boots and a long wool coat for the city.
- A belt to give a straight knit dress a waist.
- A fine slip underneath to stop a knit clinging to tights.
Keeping the shape
Fold knit dresses, never hang them, and dry them flat after washing so the length does not drop.
Which cashmere dress suits your shape
| Frame | Choose |
|---|---|
| Hourglass | The wrap dress, tied at the waist |
| Rectangle | A belted jumper dress to add shape |
| Petite | A midi that ends just below the knee, with a heeled boot |
| Tall | The long cable dress and the circle dress |
Layering a cashmere dress
In deep winter, add a fine roll neck under a round neck dress, then a long coat. For transitional days, wear a cropped cardigan over the wrap dress. A cashmere cape over a knit dress is the warmest combination of all; see our guide to cashmere capes.
Colours for a first cashmere dress
Grey and oatmeal are the easiest to style with boots in black and brown. Cocoa brown reads almost black and is the most forgiving at a desk. Navy and black silk-cashmere is the evening choice.
Washing a knit dress
Hand wash it cool, press the water out in a towel and dry it flat on a large surface, easing it to the right length. Never hang a wet knit dress.
